Doing up a set of wheels for a friend of mine

thought you might like to see the process.

the wheels were very corroded

Had to soak them in penetrene to remove the center caps.

they had been left out in the rain for a while

After stripping all the wheel weights and caps off i steam blasted them to remove dirt

then Glass Bead blasted them each one taking about 30 minutes or so. This strips the paint and leaves a corrosion free surface back to the raw alloy material.

only found one small crack on the lip.

now in Aluminium etch primer and undercoat

these wheels will have the outer lip and raised vents polished so there off to the metal polisher and will finally be painted in 2 pak

Magnesium?........ these are similar to yours arent they dave? the ones on the smoothie?

Wow what a difference even with just the steam blasting....very smick Dave

Adz these are Alloy

the only Magnesium wheel i know of are the Origional BRMs... very very light

yep
